🚨 #BlueMonday is just a PR campaign made up to encourage people to buy flights. It might feel like there's lots of things to be worried about right now, but a random Monday in January is not one of them. 💙 However you're feeling today, we're here for you.

Excuses to get outdoors this #MulticolouredMonday .Our Ecotherapy groups, including the Nature Photographers have been keeping a keen eye out for patches of colour among the gloom this week. If you spot anything eye-catching, we'd love to see your colour splashes!

Thank you to everyone who has conversions to transform attitudes & change lives. We started #timetotalk day many yrs ago to provide solidarity on 1 day. While there is far more needed to ensure timely access to quality MH services it’s still true that conversations change lives

Our Nature Based Wellbeing Team took a dose of their own (nature) medicine this weekend, with an away day at Forest Quest with our Bushcraft tutor. Evey one enjoyed reconnecting with their wild side!
